May 22 to 31, 2007

We got up on May 22 to a warm and sunny Shuswap day. Packed and left our site with the Medallion for her last trip. We have decided to purchase a new one rather than fixing all the wrongs on this one.
We arrived early in Red Deer, alberta, parked in Festival RV Sales parking lot and hooked up a electrical line they left for us.
Got up the next day to a cloudy and cool day. Went inside only to find out that the rig is not nearly ready to come out. Once again and typical, we got all kinds of excuses. Finally, it came out at 3:30 p.m. It is starting to SNOW!!!! can you believe this. Began moving things over and called it quit around 9 p.m. Tired, we went to bed

Next day the 24th, we woke up a a full fledge snow fall. About 2 inches on the ground. Continued moving things and getting soake and wet, depressed and angry. At one point we were ready to call it quit and wanted our old rig back. Finally finished around 3 p.m. and we left for Dino Park in Drumheller, about 2 hours from here. When we arrived here, there was no snow and a bit warmer. Set up and went to bed at 10 p.m.

We spent the next two days organizing and learning about our new home. Storage below is gigantic but there is a lack of space upstairs.

Saturday, the 26th, we got up early, packed and headed back to Red Deer. Arrived around 11 a.m. and got a few bugs fixed. We had been told they would be available until 5 p.m. Guess what....they went home at 3 p.m. Another disappointment. We will never deal with this outfit again.

We left Red Deer around 4 p.m. and headed for BC. Stopped in Canmore, Alta but the cheapest site we could find was $49. Forget it!!!! Went on to Golden where we stopped at this nice place for $26. fulll hook-up

Next morning, the 27th, I took Tucker for his morning walk and found a dozen Ram and Ewes sitting around and grazing. They were beautiful.
We arrived at our site in the Shuswap around 3 p.m. and set up. Everyone came over to eye our new home.

Monday the 28th, a sunny and warm day, we went to Salmon arm to do some shopping and pick up our mail.

Wednesday, the 30th, we packed and left for Chilliwack. Arrived at Camperland RV park (free) where we will be staying for the next two weeks. Very warm here.

On thurday the 31st, we went and had lunch with Rochelle and made a bunch of appointments for the truck. In the morning, we went to the kids school and attended their award ceremony. Hayley, the youngest one, got an award for the best improved athlete in her group and Vanessa got an award for excellency. What a pair....make one feel so proud.
